Chapter 113 Your Side Has Been Locked On, Loot (Please Subscribe!)
"Thump~~"
The howitzers opened fire again, firing 155mm shells that were meant to rain down on the rebels into the deserted depths of the rainforest.
"Boom!"
The mixed charge of more than 10 kg was detonated instantly, and the expanding gunpowder gas created an overpressure space with a radius of 8 meters at the point of explosion.
In this absolute death zone, dozens of redwood trees, some decades old, were snapped and blown to pieces.
This is such fine wood! It was transported to China and made into rosewood furniture, which was snapped up by elderly people. It's a pity that now even burning it for firewood is considered too sparse.
"Thump~~"
Another shot was fired. The artillery crew, who were not traveling with the convoy, unleashed a maximum rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute without any preparation. After all, their aim was to create a deterrent effect.
Hey, don't come any closer!
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
The little antelope's propeller began to spin.
Once there was enough lift, Philips maneuvered the helicopter off the ground, then nose-down to gain altitude.
This effectively reduces the probability of them being hit during takeoff. However, from Philip and Maxim's unseen perspective, behind the Gazelle, a Doe also took off like a ghost.
After retreating 2 kilometers to the camp in one go, Philip activated the weapon control system (Armement) and the HOT 3 missiles.
However, when he used the Viviane TV targeting system to lock onto that damn modified weasel, there was nothing in the low-light night vision image.
Where's the car?
Did they run away?
Wait, why is this helicopter even noisier than before?
While Philip was puzzled, his brain was also working at high speed until he realized something was wrong.
The Astajoz xIVm turboshaft engine, with a power output of only 640 kilowatts, cannot produce such a commotion.
They wore noise-canceling headphones, but the noise from the noise-canceling propellers was comparable to the sound of three Gazelle helicopters flying together on a mission before, so…
Philip broke out in a cold sweat and turned his head back with some difficulty.
"Buzz~~"
Amidst a sharp roar, the Yak-B quad-barrel Gatling gun on the nose of the Mi-24V wove a deadly line of fire in the night with 12.7mm bullets.
With the help of the newly upgraded thermal imager on the old doe, Hans perfectly controlled the raging aircraft machine gun, pouring bullets from left to right onto the GIAT m621 cannon protruding from the right side of the Gazelle.
The cannon barrel, along with the partially exposed ammunition supply structure, was torn off the fuselage by the bullets, but not a single bullet hit the fragile Gazelle (not counting the shrapnel).
"This is a concentrated fire defense zone. You have been locked onto by our forces. Please land immediately! Please land immediately!"
Xia Yu's voice came through the public radio channel.
A sense of oppression instantly gripped the two of them, their expressions a mixture of shock and terror.
Wasn't their female Hind shot down by the rebels?
Do they have a second Mi-24V?
And when did the other side ambush them from behind?
No amount of problems can cover up the fact that they have completely lost.
The two were thinking of a pincer attack from both air and ground, but this was true air-ground coordination. The doe, hidden in the shadows, lurked behind them like an assassin, and with a single strike, all their efforts were rendered useless.
“Philip, land. We still have a use for them.”
Maxim's will to survive made him speak with difficulty.
The fact that the enemy only shot down the machine guns and forced them to land immediately, instead of sending them to their deaths with a rocket, means they still have a chance to survive.
In the driver's seat, Philip's eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Even if you try your best to make a comeback and miss both shots, you shouldn't lose like a fool.
He considered himself superior to his father, and all his experiences and pride became a joke.
deserter?
The other side had already prepared a backup plan; he didn't even have the right to be a deserter.
With a deep sigh, Philip made his decision.
The little antelope, piloting the damaged machine gun, landed on the road outside the camp.
Just as Maxim was about to say something, he saw his partner pull out his P226, aim it at his right temple, and pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
The 9mm bullet fired from the other side pierced the helicopter window and flew off into the unknown. Philip collapsed helplessly in the pilot's seat.
"Suicide?"
Xia Yu, who landed behind the little antelope, came to the cockpit with an AK-105 in hand and found that the man was dead, his eyes still staring at the bearded man in front of him.
"Don't kill me, I have a wife and two children."
Hans pulled Maxim out of the passenger seat, where Maxim was trembling and pleading while holding up the photo.
Xia Yu took the photo and looked at it. It was this guy and his wife, as well as a brother and sister wearing red private elementary school uniforms.
What a happy family! It's a pity that they're about to be destroyed and die. Even if he doesn't take action, the white-hatted man won't let them off the hook.
He threw away the photo, picked up his gun, and knocked the guy unconscious with the butt of the rifle.
Compared to that, the dead Philip was a bit more violent.
Despite being determined to die, he still landed, giving his partner a chance to live, and then faced death alone.
Picking up the black pistol that had fallen into the cabin, Xia Yu recognized it as a Sig Sauer P226.
These are decent spoils of war; he's quite interested in collecting enemy defensive weapons, as long as he can find them.
The concentrated fire defense method of attack makes it difficult to leave intact weapons behind.
Xia Yu pressed the cocking release lever of the gun, and after confirming that the hammer had returned to its original position, he put the gun on his belt.
On the other side, Hans also pulled an FN57 from Maxim's waist.
“The pistol designed by Pili Shi has a very strange caliber.”
Hans said, pursing his lips.
He disliked the P90, so naturally he wouldn't have much affection for the FN57, which had the same caliber.
"At least we have plenty of bullets, right? If you don't like them, you can give them to Domi."
Because it uses 5.7mm SS190 ammunition, it can hold 20 rounds without needing an extended magazine, thus enhancing its sustained firepower.
"Good idea, I'll find more of these bullets later."
Hans nodded and said.
Whether it was cooking or loading ammunition, Domi helped him a lot, and he should thank the young man.
"This watch is nice, it's an Omega. Looks like they've made a lot of money through shady dealings these past two years!"
Xia Yu snatched a watch from Maxim's left wrist; all she recognized was that it was an Omega Seamaster.
The blue, white, and red nylon watch strap was stained red with blood.
This guy has a deep love for Korea, but he hasn't learned the essence of it. His partner is different.
After removing the useless watch strap, Xia Yu stuffed the dive watch, worth several thousand euros, into his pocket.
The spoils should be looted clean. His watch is a Breitling Cockpit Chronograph B50, advertised as a watch designed for pilots. It is priced similarly to this Seamaster, but it is only water-resistant to 100 meters.
This made Xia Yu feel that it was not enough. Although his main job was as the owner of a defense company, he spent most of his time as an armored vehicle commander and a small part of his time as a helicopter captain. But who said that one day he could not become a submarine captain?
Therefore, 100 meters is definitely not enough; 300 meters would be more appropriate.
In addition to the basic model, all mid-range and higher-end Omega Seamaster models are waterproof to 300 meters.
Xia Yu had been thinking of buying one on his way to Europe someday, but he never expected to be caught red-handed.
Sure enough, we had no guns or cannons; the enemy made them for us.
Watches and pistols are just minor items; the real prize is the Gazelle aircraft without its machine gun, and the equipment left at the base.
"Da~da~da~dong~dong~dong~"
Machine guns and cannons began firing again. After making a wide turn through the rainforest, the Weasel S30 successfully broke in from behind the White Hats' base and began eliminating the employees who were still resisting.
Leave one alive, but leave none of these accomplices alive.
Half an hour later, after everything had returned to calm, Xia Yu received a communication request from Kuhn.
"Let's go, the camp has been cleared."
The two men worked together to throw Maxim into the Mi-24V's transport bay, and then piloted the helicopter toward their base.
The ability to modify flight vehicles is a stage reward for Xia Yu as he progresses from entering the Panaka operation to temporarily returning to Kongluga.
Considering the possibility of night combat and the lack of time to collect dedicated flight thermal imagers, he temporarily disassembled the Catherine thermal imager from the T-64B1M and modified and integrated it into the helicopter.
The results were fairly good, considering it was only used in conjunction with less sophisticated weapons like machine guns and rockets.
If it were a missile, the thermal imager would have to be integrated into the fire control system, serving as an integral part of it.
The company's Mi-24V has always been short of missiles because the original anti-tank missiles were outdated, so Xia Yu has never printed them.
Later, there was a consideration of putting the Kornet (At-14) on a helicopter, but Russia itself did not do so.
The Ka-52 uses the 9m127 giant vortex (At-16), and the same laser beam-riding guidance system as the Kornet, but the usage scenarios are clearly different.
Now, they have another option.
HOT-3 anti-tank missile!
Not only the Gazelle, but also the latest Tiger helicopters are still using this missile with excellent penetration.
It is also an anti-tank missile that evolved from ground-to-ground to air-to-ground, so it shouldn't be a problem to directly transplant it onto the Mi-24V.
In addition, Xia Yu can also look forward to whether he can print out Mistral missiles while preparing these two Gazelles.
To be honest, the Russians are quite lazy. Their missiles are all dedicated to a single purpose; they use them for multiple purposes.
The HOT series is like this, and the Mistral series will remain the same.
It can be carried by hand and shoulder, mounted on helicopters for air-to-air combat, and also mounted on ships for air defense.
It's done quite well, but it's become Xia Yu's.
The fact that the Mi-24V uses NATO-based air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles gives one a somewhat abstract feeling.
I guess the mix-and-match style is more popular this year!
When it comes to weapons and equipment, you just use whatever you can get your hands on.
It was thanks to the system's help with the porting that Xia Yu was able to manage it alone; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it by himself.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
Landing on the makeshift helipad in front of the hangar, looking at the rows of makeshift tents and supply trucks, Xia Yu felt a sense of triumph, as if he had struck it rich.
Sure enough, murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their bodies.
The white-hatted soldiers who wiped out the concentrated fire defenses were left with a mouthful of oil, and their gains from defending themselves and turning the tables were equally impressive.
This is Afica, a place where the strong prey on the weak.
Entering this place without absolute strength will only make you nourish others to grow stronger.
"Splash~~"
"Don't kill me, I have a wife and children."
A bucket of water woke Maxim up; he was still in a state of shock.
"You can live if you want, but it depends on your performance. First, let me introduce your location, and then I'll introduce your company."
Xia Yu looked down at the branch manager and said.
After wiping out some of the companies in White Hat Afica and seizing their assets, you'll have your fill of revenge and food, but be prepared for an attack from their headquarters.
Having someone familiar with the White Hat headquarters would save Xia Yu and his team a lot of trouble.
However, he is now more interested in the remaining assets of the branch offices here.
"I, I will definitely cooperate."
Maxim breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing he wouldn't die.
"This is our hangar. There's only one Gazelle left inside, but we still have a lot of weapons and equipment to go with it."
He turned against his former allies and became a traitor, and he explained it very carefully.
"We brought a total of 10 HOT 3 rounds. The destroyed plane had 4 rounds, the plane Philip was flying had 2 rounds, and the remaining 4 rounds are here. We also have 2 Mistral rounds in case of any accidents."
There's no need to describe the boxes of machine gun ammunition and rockets in the warehouse behind the tent; they'll be disassembled and stored in the storage silo later.
Xia Yu had some ideas for modifying the Gazelle. The original autocannon was too rubbish, and he could integrate the Rh202 autocannons from the Amx-10p that had been destroyed.
While it may not be able to take down tanks, it can certainly tear apart the scalps of light armored vehicles.
Xia Yu imported so many finished tungsten products that DM63 will be readily available for supply.
How much aviation kerosene do you have in stock?
Xia Yu instructed the data team to move the remaining missiles to the truck that Domi had just driven over, and continued to ask questions.
Oil isn't worth much, but it's really important to them.
None of the company's assets are not fueled by oil, and jet fuel is even harder to obtain than diesel.
"There are still more than 20 tons left. We won't be taking off many times during the entire combat cycle, so we'll be using drones more often."
If you want a longer driving range, you still need to use gasoline.
Like most military drones, the Sparrowhawk A runs on aviation kerosene.
"Take me there to have a look."
The US gets excited when it sees black liquid oozing from the ground, while Xia Yu is obsessed with refined oil.
I just took a picture with a drone. The fuel depot of the white-hatted building consists of three 50-cubic-meter large oil tankers and a mobile oil storage tank for aviation kerosene.
If it's a fight to the death, Xia Yu will prioritize attacking the fuel depot, crippling them first.
Given their company's strength, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths to take down even a branch of the opposing team, so wiping out the entire convoy and ensuring the base remains intact as much as possible is crucial.
"Usually, when we run out of two truckloads of fuel, we request a resupply from Busa. Right now, we have 80 tons of diesel left here."
Maxim continued his explanation.
Xia Yu had already thought it through: he would leave the car to Meng Qiao, but keep all the fuel for himself.
In addition, he needs to take at least five Renault military trucks back to Kongluga.
While subspace garages are convenient, the transportation capabilities required to build a company are also important.
Xia Yu prefers the boxy military-style vehicle to the Renault, but when it's a free car, you shouldn't be too picky.
"Mr. Anka, you're still awake, aren't you? Have Battalion Commander Anka bring some men to the White Hat's base as soon as possible."
He told Maxim to stop, then took out his satellite phone and dialed old Anka's number.
The commotion before and after the battle was considerable. Xia Yu didn't want to inflict heavy damage on his allies, so he could only send the Anka mechanized infantry battalion over as soon as possible.
